To explore the slaking mechanisms, cyclic wetting–drying slaking tests under both atmospheric and vacuum conditions were conducted on natural mudstone collected from Akita Prefecture, Japan. A multi-view approach was employed to capture the evolution of three-dimensional particle shape, enabling quantitative analysis of slaking mechanisms and the development of number-size and surface area-size distribution models that account for shape effects. The results indicate that the atmospheric slaking proceeds more rapidly than vacuum slaking tests, attributed to the elimination of the air-breakage phenomenon. Shape evolution analysis reveals that the shell-like medium-sized particles possess higher specific surface areas, resulting from the typical layered slaking phenomenon observed during slaking. These layered fragments are attributed to differential swelling, driven by non-uniform moisture distribution in the specimens. The contribution of this mechanism is validated and quantitatively assessed through a comparative analysis of particle shape compositions across different slaking conditions. Finally, particle shape evolution is integrated into predictive models for number-size and surface area-size distributions. The performance of these models is verified against experimental measurements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21857,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Foundations","volume":"65 5","pages":"Article 101682"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Decades ago, the freezing sampling method was developed to minimize sample disturbance by pre-freezing the ground. However, due to the large scale and high cost of the work, this method is rarely used in common geotechnical surveys. To address this issue, a small-scale freezing sampling method has recently been developed. It reduces the sampling time and amount of required coolant, and can be applied to conventional borehole surveys. On the other hand, the quality of the samples collected by this new method has not been properly assessed. In this study, therefore, the appropriate conditions for inserting the freezing tube with the help of a cylindrical sand column were discussed, and the small-scale freezing sampling method was successfully implemented in a calibration chamber, whereby hollow cylindrical frozen samples with an outer diameter of 100 mm were collected within approximately 40 min and using only about 70 kg of liquid nitrogen. The focus of the quality assessments of the collected frozen samples was placed on the density and shear wave velocity measurements. The results showed that the changes in the small strain shear moduli were −0.5 % between the stages before and after the sampling, suggesting that the implementation of small-scale freezing sampling can be expected to improve the accuracy of in-situ liquefaction resistance estimates and, in turn, the accuracy of liquefaction assessments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21857,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Foundations","volume":"65 5","pages":"Article 101657"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144996823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The change in the water content of stratum affects the shear behavior of soil and structure inevitably, especially in the region of cohesive soil with complex hydro-physical properties. In this paper, the silty clay in the Songnen Plain was used as a case study to reveal the shear failure mechanism of silty clay–structure interface under different water contents from multiple scales. First, the macroscopic mechanical characteristics were investigated by direct shear test and particle-image-velocimetry technology. To further explore the mesoscopic evolution law, this study proposed a novel FDM-DMDEM (Finite Difference Method–Determining Meso-parameter Discrete Element Method). This method enables direct calculation and assignment of meso-parameters required for the numerical model based on unsaturated soil theory, completely circumventing the laborious and subjective inverse calibration process inherent in conventional DEM. In this study, a 3D numerical model was established by using this coupling method and a parametric analysis was carried out. The results demonstrated that the meso-structure failure of silty clay within a certain range from the interface produced plastic deformation to form shear bands. Failure has two forms, namely, shear failure inside the shear band and shear failure outside the shear band. The increase in water content weakened the bonding force between particles, so that developing shear stress outside the shear band was difficult, resulting in typical shear failure inside the shear band.

However, the research on the influence mechanism of pile driving methods in hard soil layers mainly focuses on the static pressing method and the hammering method, while the penetration characteristics under pre-bored assistance remains unclear. Therefore, a full-scale field test was conducted to investigate the installation effects. The penetration mechanisms of the piles with pre-bored assistance in areas with a deep and thick sand layer was discussed. Besides, an analytical method was proposed to predict the energy (hammer blow counts) necessary to drive pile to design depth. The results showed that the pre-bored grouted planted method significantly reduced the energy required for pile driving, compared to both the hammering method and the pre-bored planted method. This was because pre-drilling reduced displaced soil volume and relieved lateral stress. The pile load transfer mechanism was optimized by pre-drilling, which effectively leveraged the high compressive strength of the deep and thick sand layers. Meanwhile, the shaft friction within the grouted depth was significantly enhanced by the permeation, cementation and reinforcement effects of the concrete slurry, thereby improving the pile bearing capacity. Furthermore, the analytical method proposed based on the cavity expansion theory was capable of predicting the energy required for pile driving, which could guide the selection of pile driving equipment with minimum energy consumption and prevent pile damage caused by excessive hammering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21857,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Foundations","volume":"65 5","pages":"Article 101678"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144917494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

State of the art methods, based on non-linear dynamic analysis, are nowadays able to give reliable results when the numerical modeling is carried out with careful evaluation of seismic signals and appropriate choice of constitutive relationship for soils. However, a similar analysis is mostly restricted to relevant infrastructures. For large part of the practical situations, the simplified seismic analysis still represents the most used tool for design and verification. The new generation of Eurocode in Europe has introduced some innovations on the use of simplified seismic analyses making them more rationale and site-specific. In this paper, a case study involving the seismic evaluation of an existing anchored sheet-pile quay wall in the Ravenna port is presented. A well-known geotechnical setting and the data from an extensive field and laboratory investigation available for the area, allowed to perform both simplified and non-linear dynamic seismic analyses. The simplified seismic analysis according to the pseudo-static method outlined in the new draft of Eurocode 8 (FprEN1998:2024 TC250 – part 1 and 5), has been carried out and compared with the seismic performance of the quay wall evaluated through a 2D FEM non-linear dynamic analysis. Also, the seismic displacements of the quay wall from 2D FEM non-linear dynamic analysis were compared with recently proposed Newmark-type simplified methods. Relevant aspects of the presented case study are the very deep location of the bedrock, which required a separate model for site response analysis and 2D FEM non-linear dynamic analysis of the structures and the significant length of the wall embedment, due to poor geotechnical properties of the ground, which resulted in a pronounced spatial variation with depth of the ground motion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21857,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Foundations","volume":"65 5","pages":"Article 101676"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144889477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
